The ADP2108 is a high efficiency, low quiescent current stepdown dc-to-dc converter in an ultrasmall 5-ball WLCSP
package. The total solution requires only three tiny external
components. It uses a proprietary, high speed current mode,
constant frequency PWM control scheme for excellent stability
and transient response. To ensure the longest battery life in
portable applications, the ADP2108 has a power save mode that
reduces the switching frequency under light load conditions.
The ADP2108 runs on input voltages of 2.3 V to 5.5 V, which
allows for single lithium or lithium polymer cell, multiple alkaline
or NiMH cell, PCMCIA, USB, and other standard power sources.
The maximum load current of 600 mA is achievable across the
input voltage range.
The ADP2108 is available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 3.0 V,
2.5 V, 2.3 V, 1.82 V, 1.8 V, 1.5 V, 1.3 V, 1.2 V, 1.1 V, and 1.0 V. All
versions include an internal power switch and synchronous rectifier for minimal external part count and high efficiency. The
ADP2108 has an internal soft start and is internally compensated.
During logic controlled shutdown, the input is disconnected
from the output and the ADP2108 draws less than 1 μA from
the input source.
APPLICATIONS
PDAs and palmtop computers
Wireless handsets
Digital audio, portable media players
Digital cameras, GPS navigation units
Other key features include undervoltage lockout to prevent deep
battery discharge and soft start to prevent input current overshoot at startup. The ADP2108 is available in a 5-ball WLCSP.

Figure 28. Functional Block Diagram
The ADP2108 is a step-down dc-to-dc converter that uses a
fixed frequency and high speed current mode architecture. The
high switching frequency and tiny 5-ball WLCSP package allow
for a small step-down dc-to-dc converter solution.
The ADP2108 operates with an input voltage of 2.3 V to 5.5 V
and regulates an output voltage down to 1.0 V.
CONTROL SCHEME
The ADP2108 operates with a fixed frequency, current mode
PWM control architecture at medium to high loads for high
efficiency, but shifts to a power save mode control scheme at
light loads to lower the regulation power losses. When operating
in fixed frequency PWM mode, the duty cycle of the integrated
switches is adjusted and regulates the output voltage. When
operating in power save mode at light loads, the output voltage
is controlled in a hysteretic manner, with higher VOUT ripple.
During part of this time, the converter is able to stop switching
and enters an idle mode, which improves conversion efficiency.
PWM MODE
In PWM mode, the ADP2108 operates at a fixed frequency of
3 MHz, set by an internal oscillator. At the start of each oscillator
cycle, the PFET switch is turned on, sending a positive voltage
across the inductor. Current in the inductor increases until the
current sense signal crosses the peak inductor current threshold
that turns off the PFET switch and turns on the NFET synchronous
rectifier. This sends a negative voltage across the inductor, causing
the inductor current to decrease. The synchronous rectifier stays
on for the rest of the cycle. The ADP2108 regulates the output
voltage by adjusting the peak inductor current threshold.
POWER SAVE MODE
The ADP2108 smoothly transitions to the power save mode of
operation when the load current decreases below the power
save mode current threshold. When the ADP2108 enters power
save mode, an offset is induced in the PWM regulation level,
which makes the output voltage rise. When the output voltage
reaches a level approximately 1.5% above the PWM regulation
level, PWM operation is turned off. At this point, both power
switches are off, and the ADP2108 enters an idle mode. COUT
discharges until VOUT falls to the PWM regulation voltage, at
which point the device drives the inductor to make VOUT rise
again to the upper threshold. This process is repeated while the
load current is below the power save mode current threshold.
Power Save Mode Current Threshold
The power save mode current threshold is set to 80 mA. The
ADP2108 employs a scheme that enables this current to remain
accurately controlled, independent of VIN and VOUT levels. This
scheme also ensures that there is very little hysteresis between
the power save mode current threshold for entry to and exit from
the power save mode. The power save mode current threshold
is optimized for excellent efficiency over all load currents.
ENABLE/SHUTDOWN
The ADP2108 starts operation with soft start when the EN pin
is toggled from logic low to logic high. Pulling the EN pin low
forces the device into shutdown mode, reducing the shutdown
current below 1 μA.
Rev. A | Page 11 of 16
ADP2108
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The ADP2108 includes frequency foldback to prevent output
current runaway on a hard short. When the voltage at the
feedback pin falls below half the target output voltage, indicating the possibility of a hard short at the output, the switching
frequency is reduced to half the internal oscillator frequency.
The reduction in the switching frequency allows more time for
the inductor to discharge, preventing a runaway of output current.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
To protect against battery discharge, undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) circuitry is integrated on the ADP2108. If the input
voltage drops below the 2.15 V UVLO threshold, the ADP2108
shuts down, and both the power switch and the synchronous
rectifier turn off. When the voltage rises above the UVLO threshold, the soft start period is initiated, and the part is enabled.
THERMAL PROTECTION
In the event that the ADP2108 junction temperature rises above
150°C, the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the converter.
Extreme junction temperatures can be the result of high current
operation, poor circuit board design, or high ambient temperature.
A 20°C hysteresis is included so that when thermal shutdown
occurs, the ADP2108 does not return to operation until the
on-chip temperature drops below 130°C. When coming out
of thermal shutdown, soft start is initiated.
SOFT START
The ADP2108 has an internal soft start function that ramps the
output voltage in a controlled manner upon startup, thereby
limiting the inrush current. This prevents possible input voltage
drops when a battery or a high impedance power source is
connected to the input of the converter.
After the EN pin is driven high, internal circuits start to power
up. The time required to settle after the EN pin is driven high is
called the power-up time. After the internal circuits are powered
up, the soft start ramp is initiated and the output capacitor is
charged linearly until the output voltage is in regulation. The
time required for the output voltage to ramp is called the soft
start time.
Start-up time in the ADP2108 is the measure of when the
output is in regulation after the EN pin is driven high. Start-up
time consists of the power-up time and the soft start time.
CURRENT LIMIT
The ADP2108 has protection circuitry to limit the amount of
positive current flowing through the PFET switch and the
synchronous rectifier. The positive current limit on the power
switch limits the amount of current that can flow from the input
to the output. The negative current limit prevents the inductor
current from reversing direction and flowing out of the load.
100% DUTY OPERATION
With a drop in VIN or with an increase in ILOAD, the ADP2108
reaches a limit where, even with the PFET switch on 100% of
the time, VOUT drops below the desired output voltage. At this
limit, the ADP2108 smoothly transitions to a mode where the
PFET switch stays on 100% of the time. When the input conditions
change again and the required duty cycle falls, the ADP2108
immediately restarts PWM regulation without allowing overshoot on VOUT.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION
Trade-offs between performance parameters such as efficiency
and transient response can be made by varying the choice of
external components in the applications circuit, as shown in
Figure 1.
Inductor
The high switching frequency of the ADP2108 allows for the
selection of small chip inductors. For best performance, use
inductor values between 0.7 μH and 3 μH. Recommended
inductors are shown in Table 5.
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is calculated using
the following equation:
I RIPPLE =
VOUT × (VIN − VOUT )

Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are not recommended for use with any
dc-to-dc converter because of their poor temperature and dc
bias characteristics.
The worst-case capacitance accounting for capacitor variation
over temperature, component tolerance, and voltage is calculated using the following equation:
CEFF = COUT × (1 − TEMPCO) × (1 − TOL)
where:
CEFF is the effective capacitance at the operating voltage.
TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient.
TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
In this example, the worst-case temperature coefficient (TEMPCO)
over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to be 15% for an X5R dielectric.
The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed to be 10%, and
COUT is 9.2481 μF at 1.8 V, as shown in Figure 29.
where:
fSW is the switching frequency.
L is the inductor value.
Substituting these values in the equation yields
The minimum dc current rating of the inductor must be greater
than the inductor peak current. The inductor peak current is
calculated using the following equation:
To guarantee the performance of the ADP2108, it is imperative
that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the
behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.

The peak-to-peak output voltage ripple for the selected output
capacitor and inductor values is calculated using the following
equation:
Output Capacitor
Higher output capacitor values reduce the output voltage ripple
and improve load transient response. When choosing this value,
it is also important to account for the loss of capacitance due to
output voltage dc bias.

Inductor conduction losses are caused by the flow of current
through the inductor, which has an associated internal DCR.
Larger sized inductors have smaller DCR, which may decrease
inductor conduction losses. Inductor core losses are related to
the magnetic permeability of the core material. Because the
ADP2108 is a high switching frequency dc-to-dc converter,
shielded ferrite core material is recommended for its low core
losses and low EMI.

Capacitors with lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) are
preferred to guarantee low output voltage ripple, as shown in
the following equation:
Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics,
each with different behavior over temperature and applied
voltage. Capacitors must have a dielectric adequate to ensure
the minimum capacitance over the necessary temperature range
and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R dielectrics with a voltage
rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recommended for best performance.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The junction temperature of the die is the sum of the ambient
temperature of the environment and the temperature rise of the
package due to power dissipation, as shown in the following
equation:
TJ = TA + TR
where:
TJ is the junction temperature.
TA is the ambient temperature.
TR is the rise in temperature of the package due to power
dissipation.
The rise in temperature of the package is directly proportional
to the power dissipation in the package. The proportionality
constant for this relationship is the thermal resistance from the
junction of the die to the ambient temperature, as shown in the
following equation:
TR = θJA × PD
where:
TR is the rise in temperature of the package.
θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the
ambient temperature of the package.
PD is the power dissipation in the package.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Poor layout can affect ADP2108 performance, causing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) problems, ground bounce, and voltage losses. Poor
layout can also affect regulation and stability. A good layout is
implemented using the following rules:
Because of the high efficiency of the ADP2108, only a small
amount of power is dissipated inside the ADP2108 package,
which reduces thermal constraints.
•
However, in applications with maximum loads at high ambient
temperature, low supply voltage, and high duty cycle, the heat
dissipated in the package is great enough that it may cause the
junction temperature of the die to exceed the maximum
junction temperature of 125°C. If the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C, the converter goes into thermal shutdown. It
recovers when the junction temperature falls below 130°C.

Place the inductor, input capacitor, and output capacitor
close to the IC using short tracks. These components carry
high switching frequencies, and large tracks act as antennas.
Route the output voltage path away from the inductor and
SW node to minimize noise and magnetic interference.
Maximize the size of ground metal on the component side
to help with thermal dissipation.
Use a ground plane with several vias connecting to the component side ground to further reduce noise interference on
sensitive circuit nodes.
